Even the most dedicated of planners can be left scrambling for gift ideas--even for Valentine's Day, which happens to be this Friday. Here are 6 delectable gift ideas--plus one extra inedible one--that range in prices but still connote "I Love You." That they happen to be easily shareable is an unintended benefit for you.

4) Cowgirl Creamery's Valentine's Day TrioIf savory trumps sweet, this collection of three cheeses from the award-wining West Coast cheesemakers is sure to get the heart pumping. Eating protein-rich cheeses increases production of dopamine which leads to all sorts of pleasurable feelings. Add TCHO chocolates to the mix and you're ready for the evening. (cowgirlcreamery.com, $70/set)

5) Palais des Thés Lovers set You might not think of tea as an aphrodisiac, but for some people, it most certainly can be. With notes of almond, cinnamon, vanilla and ginger--all noted mood pleasers and sensual enhancements--these teas can subtly (or not so subtly) convey the mood. Added bonus: Candy sugar hearts. (us.palaisdesthes.com, $27/set)

7) Paperless Post's Foodie Valentine's Day CardsRemember the good old fashioned Valentine's Day cards made from paper? Those were kind of sweet. But if you're lagging behind and you know USPS just won't deliver in time, go digital by personalizing a charming (or sly or just plain silly) foodie Valentine's Day card from Paperless Post. (paperlesspost.com, approximately $0.25/digital card)
